I remember reading somewhere that these results would make it easier to determine when the next iPhone was launching. I wonder what the outcome is there.

They are forecasting strong revenue for Q4, so odds are there will be some kind of iPhone launch in September. Not sure if it means OLED model launches in September.

  Talking heads like to say Apple needs major changes and to blow everyone out of the water. Apple knows they just need to keep making incremental changes and keep up with demand and they will [continue to] achieve insane sales.

> make it easier to determine when the next iPhone was launching. You mean it might not be around September 20 like the last 5 generations? (5: 2012-09-21, 5s: 2013-09-20, 6: 2014-09-19, 6s: 2015-09-25, 7: 2016-09-16) The iPhone 4 was 3 weeks later on 2011-10-14. Only the SE was released not released in Fall, on 2016-03-31

  There was some speculation this year may be delayed because of supply issues with OLED panels.

    The speculation I've heard is that there will be a 7S and 7S+ basically the normal date, with some new high-end "iPhone pro" (the supposed OLED one) that may not be able to ship at the same time and may come out a month or two later.

    NO ONE can manage the production of OLED panels on the scale Apple needs them. Even the largest OLED phones have sold millions at the most. Apple sells a few hundred million iPhones each year. Just let that sink in for a while. Unless someone invents a brand new way of constructing OLED panels or a time machine, the 7S/7S+ won't have it. There are rumors of an iPhone Pro that would have edge-to-edge OLED and IR face unlock and world peace built in. It would also be priced so ridiculously high that Apple could keep up with the display production.

"New iPhones typically go on sale in mid- to late September, which produces a few weeks of revenue that are included in the company’s fiscal fourth-quarter results. Some analysts had reduced their projections on concern the new high-end iPhone may be delayed, but Apple’s forecast on Tuesday calmed those fears." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-08-01/apple-s-forecast-signals-strong-sales-of-new-iphones-this-year https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-08-01/apple-s-f...
